Thumbs up Rising US gas prices = new EcoModder membership record

No surprise here, but in March we surpassed our previous highest peak for "most active users" - the number of members who have logged in at least once in the past 30 days. (In case you're wondering, the last peak was June '11. Prior to that it was July '08.)

Other stats are at or near their all time highs too, as you've probably already noticed if you're a regular (things like number of new threads, posting activity).

Of course, activity in the forum tracks US fuel prices nearly perfectly. No surprise there.

So.... if you're a new member: welcome!

And if you're a regular member who's been around for ages, you can take comfort in the fact that your interest in efficiency is paying off more than ever (if that's even your concern). Oh, and be nice to the noobs!

I was just wondering if those stats might be on the rise.

Now your post makes me wonder who holds the record for being the oldest (earliest joined, not age), active member. "Active" meaning logging in at least somewhat consistently and posting in the forum at least once a month, excluding Moderators, of course. Dang it, brucey, you beat me by three months! You better be nice to me! Ha ha!
